What would Emmeline Pankhurst make of the Tate brothers? It’s an interesting question. Would she challenge them? Almost certainly. Would she be intimidated by their wealth, influence or platform? History suggests not.

🚨Women’s Voices Matter 📣 Women fought for the right to have a voice. We should be asking why, in 2026, women can still face violence for using their voice? The suffragettes fought for women to be heard, represented and able to influence the decisions that shape their lives.

😴 Sleeping as a form of Protest? Sign me up! 💤 In the lead up to the 1911 census, callouts to women across the country were made to boycott the census using the slogan “No vote, No Census”! , because despite decades of campaigning, the government continued to refuse women the parliamentary vote.

⭐️Now’s the time to take positive action together⭐️ Suffragettes and suffragists knew that no matter where you came from, there was always something you could do to protest inequality. Organise meetings, write articles, raise funds, make banners, speak out, and refuse to stay silent.

Whose story inspires you? In the past, some women faced barriers because of their gender. Others faced intersectional barriers because of who they loved, where they lived, what resources they had access too, or facing multiple challenges at once History hasn't remembered them equally.
